MIX10

MIX10


In a companion post on the Windows Phone Blog, we have unveiled the highly anticipated Windows Phone 7 Series. For the first time ever, we are bringing together Xbox LIVE games and the Zune music and video experience to phones. Developers are already speculating about the app platform and tools. All I can tell you is that we are going big at MIX10, March 15-17.

I will proudly say that we are about to launch a very compelling mobile development platform – arguably the best in our history. Even if you can’t join us at MIX this year be sure to follow Charlie Kindel, @ckindel for regular updates on the developer story for Windows Phone.

We said to ourselves “a phone is not a PC… it’s got a small screen, no mouse, and you want to use it not just for long periods but in short bursts—it should work great in the tiniest of moments.” We wanted to solve for “glanceability” – so you could get data and information without constantly going in and out of applications. We knew that we would need to innovate further to deliver something in which each of us, and each of our customers can take delight. So here it is.

Here are some of the features :

  • 3 dedicated hardware buttons on all WP7 phones : Back, Home, Search

  • live icons on home screen for windows Phone 7 ( gets updated automagically ;) from facbook, windows live, etc )
  • Five hubs in Windows Phone Series 7 1) People 2) Pics 3) Office 4) Music + Video 5) Games [ xBox ]
  • G-Sensor , Multitouch and Compass to work across all OEM in similar fashion. Does that mean common API for developers to work with ??
